The Geysers Of Iceland.

The Rev. Mr.. Metcalfe, in his book on
Iceland. gives an account of the geyser
of that country, and adds an explanation
of their occurrence which is worthy Of
notice. He pitched his tent within
twenty yards of the great geyser, but as
that was only bubbling and boiling,
without an explosion to send upa column
of water. he removed to a smaller spring
called the Strokr.
80 we proceed" says he, ito this
spring, which is 100 PAGES south of the
great geyser, and, although it has no
cone. but rises from the flat, is the more
picturesque of the two. Forthwith we
collect handfuls Of turf and stones. and
throw them into the Strokr's pipe; but
nothing seemed to move him. The waters
below grunted and snarled like a baited
badger, but were not to be drawn.
In the sulks,' said |, laughingiy, as

Here he comes!' shrieked one OF the
party, as | heard a hiss like a rocket dis
engaging itself from its stick. Rush for

Boiled alive" was my instantaneous
thought. The seething waters will de-
scend and overwhelm me- And so they
would have done had not the wind been
from my side of the spout, and carried
the waters in the other direction.
''What a sight! A column Of turbid
water. never ending, still beginning, darts
into the air at least one hundred feet,
bearing along with it all the unwhole-

ing the creatures nav.

which is a feature common to several OF
the Icelandic hot springs, is pretty well
understood. The pipe, which is forty
eigth feet deep, diminishes from six feet.
its breadth at the top, to eleven inches at
the bottom. The injected mass of stones
and other material acts like the shutting
of a safety valve; the steam has not a
proper vent; it collects rapidly in the
subterr6bean chambers that arch owe
the Fountains Of the great deep until they
are charged to bursting, and suddenly
driving back the continually ~encroaching
waters, they lift off the obstruction. and
rush into mid air with the velocity of a
missile from the chamber Of an Arm
strong gun. and are often illumined, as
on the present occasion, by a beautiful
iris.
'And where does all the water come
from? That, too, is easy of explanation.
1t is the drainage of the hills around,
which, meeting heated surfaces, gets to
the boiling point, and explodes when it
has a chance. Youths Companion.

Evergreen. aud Consumption.

AT a meeting of the American China
tological association, held in Baltimore,
DIR. Loomis. Of New York. read a paper
on evergreen forests as a therapeutic
agent in pulmonary phthisis, in which
he said that it had long been known that
similar climates. as determined by geo
graphical and meteorological conditions,
have different therapeutic effects. II is
becoming more apparent that there is
some relation between the development
of organisms ana atmospheric conditions.
Cold and high attitudes render the air
aseptic; but the degree Of cold and the
height required are 70 great, that elm
ically il is not possible to derive much
benefit from this fact. The effect of a
purely aseptic air upon lucrative pro-
cesses is not so great as the effect Of an
atmosphere which is aseptic on account
of the presence of antiseptic agents. The
belief in the good effects vf pine forests
in cases Of phthisis is quite unanimous,
and the clinical evidence in favor Of
their beneficial influence is unquestioned.
The atmosphere in such regions is not
only aseptic, but also a~ntiseptic. Such
an atmosphere contains considerable tur-
pentine vapor, and we should therefore
expect it TO contain a certain amount of
peroxide of hydrogen.
The majority of cases of phthisis die,
not directly from the LESSONS in the lung,
but from the secondary septicamia and
pyamia which are set up. II is impossi-
BILE to apply to the alterations within the
lung the antiseptic washing and dressing
that is employed in external LESSONS; but,
IL n antiseptic atmosphere can be OBJ
tanned, we may hope TO counteract the
secondary poisoning. Such an atmos-
pbere will not destroy the bacilli, but it
will accomplish much in the way of ar
resting the suppurative process. The at
mosphere in the region Of evergreen for
ests acts in a manner similar TO the anti
septic agents which are successfully used
to arrest suppuratiye processes in other
portions of the body; and, in all proba-
bility, the active agent is peroxide of
hydrogen resulting from the oxidation Of
the turpentine vapor.-Science.

The Maiden Assurance Company.

In Denmark there is a society known
as the Maiden Assurance company; its
aim is to provide for ladies' of well to do
families. 1t shelters and cares for them,
and furnishes them with ''pin money"
Its methods are thus described: The
nobleman-for the association is peculi-
arly for this class-as soon as a female
child is born, enrolls her lame in q GER
tain association Of noble families and
pays q certain sum-, and thereafter q
fixed annual amount TO the society.
When she has reached the age of, we be-
lieve, 81 she becomes entitled 10 a fixed
income, and to a suite of apartments in q
large building Of the association, with
gardens and park about it, inhabited by
other young or older noble ladies' who
have in like manner, become members.
II her father should die in her youth,
and she should desire II, she has shelter
in this building and, at Q time fixed, her
income. When she dies or marries all
this right to income lapses, and the
O paid in swells tina endowment Of
the association. Her father may pay for
twenty years and then her marriage cuts
of ali advantage of the insurance. But
this very chance must enable the COM
pany 30 charge lower annual premiums
and make the burden less on the father
insuring. He has, ct any rate, the
pleasant feeling that his small annual
payments are insuring his daughters
future and giving her a comfortable
home and income after be Is gone. 1t Ia
obvious that the chances for marriage
among a given number of women can be
calculated as closely as those Of death.
The plan has worked well for generations
in Copenhagen.-Home Jorunal.

Manufacture OF Dogs' Biscuit.


We do not, in this country. hear men
crying seats meat" in the streets, al.
though that is one Of the most familiar Of
London cries. But the manufacture OF
dogs biscuit is carried on, and is quite an
important industry, on both sides of the
Atlantic. We condense from an anthem
tic source the following interesting facts
regarding it;
Twenty years ago the business OF
making dogs biscuit was represented by
a small shop in Holborn. nearly opposite
Chancery lane, in London, and there
was a weekly sale of only one OF two
tons. Now there is a vast factory near
London bridge and another in New York;
and the two factories have a daily output
and sale of from thirty to forty tons.
This dog food is made Of wheaton
flour-chiefy that known as middlings-
oatmeal, dates. beet root, and prairie
meat. Dates we're the first article OF a
vegetable or fruity nature introduced,
and have had the anti-scorbutic effect so
desirable in the feeding Of dogs.
For many years dates were the only
addition to the food employed, and at
that time il was advised that fresh vege-
tables should be given twice a week addi-
tional to the biscuits. A searching for
something that would obviate the need
for this addition led to the discovery that
the only vegetable which did not lose its
distinguishing properties under the great
heat to which the cakes are subjected in
baking is beet root; and as it has all the
desirable elements, for some years past
all the biscuits sent out have contained
beet root.
THE last ingredient is prairie meat,
which is not, as many persons suppose,
tallow, grease, or butchers refuse. II is
meat from the west and South America.
From it all fat has been removed, but the
most valuable gristle and bones remain to
be ground up and is not only OF the best
quality. from a feeding point Of view,
but perfectly sweet and good. Analysis
has shown that it is much more nutritious
than the teef usually sold in the butchers
shops, for It contains only five per cent.
of water. '-Youth's Companion.

Treatment for sea.iolp....

In a recent letter to q daily paper, a
correspondent states that he has made
twenty-six trips or fifty-two tours across
che Atlantic, and has, in every instance
except the last, suffered very much from
seasickness. On this last trip he had
with him a rubber bag, twelve inches
long ard four inches wide, the mouth of
which was closed by an iron clamp.
This he filed with small pieces Of ice,
and applied to the spine at the base OF
the brain for half 10 three-quaaters of an
hour every morning. 1t had a most
soothing effect, and he enjoyed every
hour and every meal.-Boston Budget.
